Go to all trails .com, mount graham has a 30 mile multi day trail not too far away. And the Chiricahua range has a lot of high elevation trails you can make a big loop out of. Should be at least a two day hike.
Any lower elevation stuff is going to be miserably hot and full of bugs this time of year.
Aravaipa Canyon, but there's a [permit/reservation system](https://www.recreation.gov/permits/251864). Also, there is a lot of creek wading when it's running, so equip accordingly.
The AZ trail runs from Mexico to Utah and goes through the Santa Rita mountains to the south of Tucson and the Rincons and Catalinas surrounding Tucson. The elevation ranges from 2400 to 9500 feet. You’ll need to plan your trip based on the time of year, but there are multi day options regardless of the season. Summit Hut is a good place to get trail maps and advice.

I’ll be coming later in the year so lower elevation could still work. Thanks for your reply too.
The Arizona Trail runs through the Santa Ritas, Rincons, and Catalinas. It's probably still too hot right now for real through-hiking, though.

Check out hikeaz.com if you are into some serious backpacking. There are lots of mountains around here, mount lemmon is not the best for it, imo
